IN THE NEWS

One of INDIE104's own makes the news!

 Music aficionado and Sonoma Valley ambassador James Marshall Berry has combined his two passions in a new endeavor that will showcase the Valley like never before. 

With the tagline "Bringing Sonoma Valley to the World," Berry re-launched his popular Sonoma Valley Music Scene radio show in January, this time with a much larger audience through the Los Angeles-based Internet radio station, Indie 104. Just as when the show was broadcast locally, the hour-long program exclusively features the sounds of Sonoma Valley musicians. "You have to live here, be related to someone who lives here or be playing at a local venue," Berry said.   

As a musician, music columnist and Valley resident for 20 years, Berry has unique knowledge of Sonoma's musical landscape and the many personalities it's composed of. He sees his show as an opportunity to give the rest of the world an insider's glimpse at the Sonoma Valley way of life. "The Sonoma name and the Sonoma brand are huge. People all over this country want a peek at this lifestyle," Berry said. "I think Sonoma Valley is relevant to the rest of the world in so many ways, but I think the music has been overlooked."

Blessed with a velvety voice, radio has always been a dream of Berry's, who said growing up he wanted to be a DJ or a forest ranger. But life got in the way and years later Berry found himself working in tech support. "Not a day went by that someone didn't say 'You have a great voice, are you on the radio?'" he said.
